Finished with a caramelised biscuit crumb, we think this is the sweetest ginger cake to serve to your customers.

7. Lemon Drizzle Loaf Cake

Enjoy this lemoniest lemon drizzle loaf cake to give your customers a dose of citrus sunshine. Our recipe uses a lemon curd soak and fresh lemon icing glaze for the perfect balance of sweet and sour.
